The Sugarants play original music with a Talking Heads-y, Beatle-y, Crowded House-esque, Tom Petty-ish, Fleetwood Mac-like twist that sounds unlike anything you’ve ever heard except for the aforementioned bands. Made up of (and yet actually existing with) Jamie Forbes on guitar and vocals, Nick Keeling on keys and vocals, Dean Grey on lead guitar and vocals, Steve Fitzgerald on drums and counting, and John McVeity on bass and encouragement — often joined on backing vocals by talented newcomers Skye Altmann and Becky Lupton — The Sugarants are a pack of Good Time Charlies who’ll have you nodding thoughtfully, sipping smilingly, dancing admirably and humming annoyingly.

They’re thinking of making a record some time in the near future.

It will be a good record and a happy record and a fun record, just like The Sugarants themselves.

Sun 24th May 3:30pm - 6:30pm

Free admission.

As the saying goes, a dash of salt brings out the best in everything. And when it comes to music it doesn’t get more appetising than Benji And The Saltwater Sound System. Since their formation a couple of years back, this tangy tribe of groove merchants have hit the shoreline swimming.

Like all of the greatest live acts, their sound is ever revolving – responding to the audience and the room, taking bold new turns and venturing into new territory. It was this willingness to grow and develop that led to the band’s infectious debut album, Coming Up For Water, featuring much loved live favourite Top Bunk Trait – garnished in sweet guitar licks and feet-pounding horns.

In addition to their debut album, Benji And The Saltwater Sound System has also released a second EP titled Ripples of Thunder, which has garnered critical acclaim. The EP features a more mature sound that showcases the band's growth and evolution as musicians. With tracks like "Guess It’s Safe" and "Fortune Ate," the EP is a testament to the band's ability to create music that is both powerful and thought-provoking.

Benji And The Saltwater Sound System fuse Pacific flavours with the raw rolling sounds of the Australian Pacific coast. Add to this poignant lyrics and a will to transcend genre and you are part the way there. The band has graced some of the most iconic stages of the country.

LIVE MUSIC with ' WRACK & RUIN ' at the Tathra Hotel.
Sun 10th May 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Free admission.

After the successful launch their first album, the critically ignored ’THE BEAT TAKES OVER’, what could be the next stop for Wrack & Ruin on their journey and inexorable rise to well-deserved fame and general adoration? Perhaps a new recording of the original rhumbas, cha-chas and bossa novas that have so delighted audiences at their spiritual home the delightful Tathra Hotel. Or will it be in the culinary sphere that they next excel with a delicious musical recipe for pumpkin risotto?

With delights such as these as well as a tango celebrating the lachrymose talents of Johnny Ray and the late, great Clyde McPhatter and a timely warning about the hidden hubris of the crystal clutching, self-improvement crowd one is reminded of the adage, “There will always be a Small Time.” Welcoming saxophonist Tabitha Bilaniwskyj-Zarins back into the fold after a sabbatical in tertiary education up in the nation’s capital and also launching their new website.
